darker days...

This past Sunday the clocks went back one hour in an effort to "save" daylight, but considering it's pitch dark now after 5pm, I'm not too keen on the idea. Sure it's lighter in the morning, but wouldn't we all rather get home from work without the moon lighting our way? I know this happens every year, but I feel unprepared this time around for some reason... I still have candles in woodsy scents, a cozy tartan blanket, and the perfect pair of thick wooly socks to find. Evening hibernation at its best...

P.S. Playing around with the column width here on the blog, so I can start posting larger photos. Better I think, no?

Agreed! Better. I was driving to work in the dark in the morning and then driving home when it's light, but now I'm driving at sunrise and driving back at dark... not much help! It always makes me feel off... I like the idea of the warm drink and blanket though... now if only I had a porch swing to sit on!

ehhemm... being from Iceland (where we get 3 hours of daylight in December) I can assure you it's much better to wake up in light than to wait for it until 11 AM!!! Around here it's dark when you wake up and dark when you get home from work - I'd much rather have some daylight when waking up in the morning and going to work than when coming home from work (i.e. if I had to pick one instead of the other), but perhaps that's just my personal choice :)

Your photos perfectly convey the feeling of this post. This time change always takes some getting used to. On the plus side, I have been waking up earlier! I just don't understand why they don't just leave the time alone.
